A Column of Sense from c. B.R.

The leader in the monthly circular
of Mr.. G. Il. Rouss, which we repro
duce on our fourth page, is rather
shorter than usual but is full of pith
and point, as is every article that
comes from the ready pen and active
brain of this distinguished merchant.
There is more good, hard common
sense and fine judgement crowded
into this column than can he found in
volumns of speculative nonsense
ill-digested, meaningless ideas ema-
mating from the visionary brain of
some commercial theorist. Our
friends views are based on actual ex-
perience. After years of practical
knowledge and personal contact with
the great moving mass of humanity
which one meets with in every day
life in Gotham. We admire his pho
netic spelling and herewith take oc-
casion to place on record a prophecy,
viz: 1t will not be many years before
this style of photography will come
into use. 1t certainly has the advan-
tagc of being much more rapidly
written and is in very many ways SUI
perior to the old style. We presume
one of the reasons why it has been
adopted by Mr.. Rouss is that time is
money to him, and his immense bus
ines must be crowded into the small
est space. Winchester Times.

Viola, near 6 years, interesting lit
tie daughter of Mr.. Daniel Anderson,
on Main ST., died last week with
diphtheria.
Late advices from Dcland. Fla,
state that the dwelling house and con-
tents belonging to Mr.. Walter Faulk-
ner, late Of this city, were destroyed
by fire. II was the work OF an in
cendiary. 1t was partially insured.
Mr.. Robert /. Knrtz, who lives near
by, writes that he was awakened by
the light and jumped up and ran to
the house, but could not save any
thing. He afterwards tracked a man
in the sand toward DeIand, who, it is
thought, set fire to the house. which
was locked up-Mrs. F. being in Win

Dragged to Death.
Albert Morrow Dragged Eight Miles
5y,a Runaacdy Horse.

TheLouisiana (A1o.) Press of Sep
TENDER 18th gives the following ac-
count of the horrible death of q
promising young man of that locality
"a member of a well known Jeffer-
son county family, considerable
branch of which now resides in Mis-
souri,:
Albert Morrow, son of John J
Morrow, of this city, met with hor-
rible death Tuesday night. He and
his uncle, Capt. w. H. Morrow,
started from Bowling Green in a
buggy late at night, and when near
Watson Station eight miles from this
city the horse got frightened at q
passing train and ran away. Capt.
Morrow was thrown. out, and Albert
either jumped OF was thrown out be-
tween the axle and bed and was
dragged in this condition all the way
to town. At an early hour yesterday
morning his dead body was found
held fast between the front axle and
the bed of the buggy in the alley
back of Rev. ]. S. Mackey's resi-
dence on Ninth street. The horse
was completely worn out and had a
wound under its left shoulder, as if
struck by sharp instrument. The
unfortunate mans body was bent
and twisted under the axle, and his
head had dragged on the ground
wearing the left side of his skull
completely off and exposing the brain.
His clothing was covered with dirt
and gravel and his coat was torn to
shreds, while the hub of the wheel
where he had lain was worn bright
from contact with his body. The
buggy was little damaged and the
horse must have kept the road till
worn out with fatigue. The body
was taken to Lynott's undertaking
establishment and the family notified.
Albert Morrow was about 2G years
old and formerly lived in this city
He taught school for several years in
this county. For sometime he has
been at Lamar and came home last
Thursday on visit. He intended
to read law with Capt. Morrow for
awhile and go to the law school at
Columbia.
He was highly spoken Of by those
who new him and the family have the
sympathy of the people in this terri
BILE atfliction.
When Capt. Morrow was thrown
out, he started to walk home expect
ing to find the buggy and driver,
but not succeeding he came on to

Washington Letter.

NAsu1NGros, D.. G., Sept. %, 1887.
Mfr. Editor: Thinking that perhaps
a line from the capital of the nation
might be acceptable inyour columns,
L determined to jotit down, and leave
it to your judgement as to whether
worthy or not. just at this time
Washington is not very lively, but as
we pass along the streets we notice
that the merchants are busy storing
on their shelves piles of fall goods in
anticipation of very busy season.
Some of the displays in the show win
dows are very extensive as well as
attractive.
Last night, at the African M. E..
Church. reception was given to
Fred. Douglass, by some of his en-
thusiastic friends. An address of
welcome was made, to which Fred.
responded, it is said quite eloquently.
He spoke of England and ireland
quite freely. and expressed himself
as decidedly in favor of Home Rule
for Ireland. At the conclusion of
his speech one of the audience arose
and announced Our ticket for
1S87-For President. Robert Slim
coin; for Vice President, Frederick
Douglass"
The various committees appointed
for the purpose. are very active per-
fecting their arrangements for the re-
ception of Governor Shepherd on his
return from Europe. This promises
to be one of the grandest affairs of
the kind ever gotten up in this city.
The procession will be very large
one, as all the civic organizations of
the District will participate in it, as
well as the bicycle and boat clubs,
etc. etc. To Gov. Shepherd are we
indebted for the splendid streets of
the city and for the many other i'm
provements which make Washington
the most beautiful city in the United
States, If not in the world. The date
of the reception has not yet been de-
finitely settled upon, but of it due no.
tice will be given.
We were pleased to meet upon the
street two of your worthy citizens,
Messrs. Holmes and Barr, who in
formed us tnas tney were now iOc:tIeu
here. We give them hearty well
come, hut feel sure that both of them,
in their several spheres, will be
greatly missed in Charlestown. They
are both solid Democrats, and we hope
they will be properly cared for by the
present administration. We also met
this week Messrs. B. G. Washington
and Forrest Brown, who we under
stand were down here in the interest
of the telephone.
The all-absorbing topic is the boat
race which is soon to come off be-
tween the American yacht "Volun-
tcer'' and the Scotch yacht "This-
tle," and the betting is nine to seven
in favor of the Volunteer. -
